Shining a classical light beam in Palma

The DaBraccio Quartet was formed in Palma in 2020 and two years later won first prize in the ensemble category for the King's Peak Music Competition, the global online competition designed to assist young musicians in furthering their careers.

Students from the Conservatory in Palma, they featured in the 2023 Fira B, now established as one of Mallorca's most important festivals for music of various genres.

Comprising Scott Anderson and Albert Grimalt (violins), Jordi Romero (viola) and Joan Fiol (cello), the quartet has already branched out in having recorded music for a British short film, 'Low Punches'. In 2022, they premiered 'Light Beam Quartet' by composer and pianist Javier Hombría from Zaragoza. They are back together for three concerts in Palma, Valldemossa and Esporles from Friday to Sunday.
